We're So Close
Brenda Lee · Other Songs - Brenda Lee
(J. MacRoa - S. Clark)
I know we just met, and here we are all alone
I'm burning up with a feeling that I've never known
True love takes time, and I'm not the kind
That believes in love at first sight
But, I've got a feeling that I'm close to believing tonight.
We're so close, I'm almost in love
So close to something I've been dreaming of
We're right on the verge of making love
Something much more than words, feels so right
I've never been so close, to love in my life.
No one has ever touched me the way that you do
Honey, don't tell me to stop, I'm begging of you
My hearts open wide, come on inside
That's where I want you to stay
Cause I've got a feeling, my heart is to go walk away.
We're so close, I'm almost in love
So close to something I've been dreaming of
We're right on the verge of making love
Something much more than words, feels so right
I've never been so close, to love in my life.
No, I've never been so close to love in my life...
I know we just met, and here we are all alone
I'm burning up with a feeling that I've never known
True love takes time, and I'm not the kind
That believes in love at first sight
But, I've got a feeling that I'm close to believing tonight.
We're so close, I'm almost in love
So close to something I've been dreaming of
We're right on the verge of making love
Something much more than words, feels so right
I've never been so close, to love in my life.
No one has ever touched me the way that you do
Honey, don't tell me to stop, I'm begging of you
My hearts open wide, come on inside
That's where I want you to stay
Cause I've got a feeling, my heart is to go walk away.
We're so close, I'm almost in love
So close to something I've been dreaming of
We're right on the verge of making love
Something much more than words, feels so right
I've never been so close, to love in my life.
No, I've never been so close to love in my life...
